I have finally gotten over the Monday Night Football game enough to give a quick fishing report. I think. Being a kid from Football’s home town (Yes, that would be Green Bay) I spent most of my Sunday’s at Lambeau Field. I am used to the Packers sucking (you don’t have to be too old [...]
This morning feels like Mahogany weather. The leaves are changing and dropping along the river bottom and the diminished sunshine this morning make it feel more like fall than it has lately. It may get warm later today, but for now I couldn’t be happier with the weather. Fishing has been good all day with [...]
We have officially left the summer of 2012 behind, unfortunately the summer weather forgot to leave with August. We are expecting record highs in parts of the state today, lucky for us the smoke is still lingering in the Valley. The thicker the smoke the better the fishing has been down here, with the fish [...]
The Bitterroot rainbows seem to be on a feeding mission with the cooler temps and lingering smoke. Look for the Browns to turn on in the next few weeks as the waters continue to cool. October Caddis hatches are gaining momentum in the evenings, that is if you are still fishing during Happy Hour… Top [...]
Too bad we have been dealt such a dry month, good thing is the alfalfa on the OZ is looking prime. Lower Lolo Creek ( a prime Bitterroot Spawning Tributary) is flat out dry (as dirt buster) in places with no help (water) anywhere in sight. There needs to be a resolution to this at [...]
Big thanks to the sponsors of team Tito’s this week on the river…The Beckman’s had a blast and saw some great fall fishing conditions under the heavy Montana smoke. Here is one of the nice fish they landed on the Bitterroot. Tricos, Hecubas, Mahoganies, Terrestrials, Caddis, Attractors…Just throw something. There are some great fish eating [...]
That about sums it up. Smokey as hell, but fishing well. Really well in fact. Same bugs we have been seeing lately: Little dead ones in the morning, Big Sailboat winged things around noon, with some others mixed in for good measure. Forget the dropper. Just go fishing if you aren’t busy chasing bugles. Here [...]
Another smokey day in the valley, so we are looking forward to some good dry fly action today. Tricos and Psuedos in the Morning, Hecubas should be rolling by noon or so. This may be the first day we see a solid Mahogany Hatch, so be prepared if you are headed out. Although I feel [...]
32* currently at the shop. Nice and chilly, feels like fall. Great time of year to fish, especially for the big boys. As things quiet down on the rivers our fall hatches come into full swing and the fish put on the feed bag. Time to get out there and get a few for yourself [...]
Today in the shop I had the pleasure of visiting with the boys from Simms to check out their new products for 2013. Wow, now here is a company that is taking the fly fishing industry to a whole new level. Simms continues to produce great products year after year-pushing the envelope to bring high [...]
